Many employers in Washington County are required by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to complete an Employee Commute Options (ECO) Survey every 2 years. The program applies to employers with 100 or more employees at a single worksite. WTA specializes in helping employers navigate the ECO process in order to meet program requirements. Let WTA help make your ECO process easier. Contact us today.

Starting September 11, 2026, all lanes of I-5 southbound will be closed through the Rose Quarter between I-405 and I-84 around the clock for up to 5 weeks. One lane will remain open from I-405 to the Broadway exit at the Moda Center. Closures are expected to cause the worst traffic in the region's history. PBOT is encouraging travelers and commuters to change their habits and plans to accommodate for increased travel times and congestion.
